Writing Revolutions
Becoming Light: Poems New
When Erica Jong's Fear of Flying appeared in 1973, writer Henry Miller praised the book as giving voice "to sex, life, joy, and adventure."
That is the power of the written word, making
revolutions in our hearts. To be able to celebrate
the endless passion of life... And the magical possibilities. Writing gives you the power to say what needs to be
said, what you are unable to say. "If you want to change the world," said Martin
Luther, "pick up your pen."
"Making words slant across the page was like
making rain. Flowers grew in ink. Hurricanes and revolutions
were stirred up by the sound
of pen scratching paper." ~ Erica Jong
Making revolutions with a
pen...
Pick up
a pen and start a revolution.
